No argument from me, i think its a good feature as well.

I'm just surprised nobody reported it earlier.

Just hotfixed in a version of the faction call function that should give feedback on what factions people belong to.

This is highly metagamey - do not use any info gained in this way ICly.

The numbers it feeds back mean the following:

Code:
 

0 - Error or no faction info
1 - Prime
2 - Free League
3 - Athar
4 - Believers of the Source
5 - Bleak Cabal
6 - Doomguard
7 - Dustmen
8 - Fated
9 - Fraternity of Order
10- Harmonium
11- Mercykillers
12- Revolutionary League
13- Sign of One
14- Society of Sensation
15- Transcendent Order
16- Xaositects
17- None
18- Undecided
255 - Booted/quit from faction


Let me know your results.

Of course, it will require 2 people in the same faction to find a match.

That hotfix identified us as undecided. Perhaps there is a server-wide bug that needed you to talk to mimir again to refresh your status?

I will check again when I get my character in Nexus.

Ill see how to fix it.

Yes, same for Rhistel, apparently... Though Koren could send Faction alerts (Ciphers) and be heard, while Rhistel could send the alert (Fated) but no one received it!

Let us know if there's anything we should do!

Figured it out.

When we made changes to the OOC room, we also updated the OOC portal conversation.

Unfortunately, the step which basically follows on from the info about factions sets the faction on your essence to be 18: undecided.

So, anyone who has followed that path in the convo, even though they already have a faction, will find that their essence thinks they are "undecided".

Ill get a fix made for that.

Thanks for the testing guys.

Hotfix applied.

As soon as you use your faction badge it will reset your faction info on the essence to the correct one.

The fix is a bit of a hack, if someone in an anarch with an infiltrated faction, and they use their infiltrated faction badge first, it will incorrectly set their essence faction to the infiltrated one.

Best I could do at short notice, hopefully not too many people have been caught out by this bug. If it turns out to be a more serious/widespread issue, ill look at implementing a better fix.

Anyone still having problems should let me know.

Will this Reset your rank in the faction?

Nope. The essence doesn't store your rank, that was introduced with badges.

I'd have got rid of the record on the essence as well, but it was a bit useful to keep the essence variable around for some reasons as well. Unfortunately, it also means that i kept using that value in my scripts - so when the ooc room convo borked it, my scripts borked along with it.

Lesson learned ;)
